approaching vessels. In this instance...itself being illuminated.
say a picture is worth a thousand words. I am nowhere near a thousand words in
describing the view I saw that early morning driving along the shores of Lake
Michigan. For every picture I have taken there are probably 3 that I wish I
could have. When you are driving and pulling a trailer you see so many
